Download Photos

Here's how to download the large-size files on our (or anyone's) flickr account.

1. Access our sets at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/chicagoteachersunion/sets/
2. Choose the set from which you want to take photos.
3. Once in the set, you can either choose right from the thumbnails or watch the slideshow (upper right-hand corner, you should probably open it in a separate window so the next step will be easier) to pick the exact photo you want to download.
4. Choose your photo from the thumbnails by clicking on it. This will take you to a screen with a photo and description and various other information about the photo.
5. Above the photo, find the buttons that say "Prev" and "Next" with arrows. Between them is a magnifying glass with a plus sign in it. Click the magnifying glass button. This will take you to the "lightbox."
6. In the lightbox, find the button in the upper right that says "View all sizes" and click it. This will take you to a "Large" version of the photo. If that is sufficient, skip to step 8.
7. Click on the link above the large photo that says "Original" and gives the dimensions of the original photo below it. This will open a very large version of the photo (best for print publications).
8. Right click on the photo (or Ctrl-Click in Mac) to open the context menu and choose "Save Image As" or whichever item is similar.
9. Voila!
